Woke up with an intense sense of doom and dread

Only just got out of bed because I just couldn't get up this morning. Hung washing up and went back to bed. Feel horrific.

Yes, an impending sense of doom can be a sepsis symptom, especially if you're feeling physically rubbish too

Seeline · 12/10/2024 12:52

Can also be symptom of sepsis. Have you got a fever or anything?

I had a crap day at work yesterday, felt awful yesterday evening. Have no plans this weekend as usual, house is a tip and I've got no motivation to do anything about it and I've got loads of decorating to do which I find so hard on my own because it's all up ladders and I just feel awful.

Felt awful how? Just tired? Or something else? Big hugs op

Did you watch Threads on BBC this week?

I did and I've had a sense of doom ever since.

Do you have anxiety. Is something very stressful going on. If not, I agree it is recognised that a feeling of dread and doom can be a symptom of a cardiac event or sepsis. I agree with contacting 111 OP

Thanks, it's all just how I feel not physical.

Better to get checked, esp if you live by yourself.

It can still be a precursor to heart attack. I would try to check this out. Don’t mean to worry you

MrsSkylerWhite · 12/10/2024 12:38

Agree, call 111, I think it’s recognised as a symptom.

It can also be a symptom of a panic attack, I think.

But yes, if you have physical symptoms as well as the anxiety/doom feeling, you should probably get checked out.

VictoryOrDeath · 12/10/2024 12:34

I wondered about this too. Hope you're OK OP.

Kate8889 · 12/10/2024 12:34

Not sure of your age, but this can sometimes be a precursor to heart attack. Can you measure your blood pressure somewhere?
